Problems? Blame Bush

White House press secretary Robert Gibbs attempted to deflect blame for the AIG bonus scandal away from the Obama administration by reminding reporters that Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner inherited a bad situation and had to make the best of it when he took over from the Bush administration.

Neglecting to mention, of course, that it was a Democratic Congress that passed the bailout legislation last fall.

True progressives are starting to get it. True conservatives saw this coming all along.
